Spring Term 2 2024
Our topic for this term is "Law and Order". “Law and Order” is a thematic unit, based on the concept of justice, with a key focus on citizenship. Pupils will look at the importance of leadership and the meaning of democracy and its origins, before moving on to how this applies practically in communities, both school-wide, locally and nationally. It finishes by recognising issues of justice, rights and responsibilities in their own setting and the wider world.
Spring Term 1 2024
This term, year 4's topic is called “A World of Difference” and is a thematic unit based around 5 world religions. It looks at the following faiths: - Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism, examining aspects such as places of worship, holy books, core beliefs and important festivals. We will ask the children to list what they think about the concept of faith and discuss the common features of all religions. Throughout the topic, we will promote the fundamental British values of mutual respect and understanding of those with different faiths and religions, encouraging everyone to share their own experience, ideas and opinions about beliefs.

Autumn Term
Our topic is “Lightning Speed – Exchanging Ideas’
During the first part of this term, we will be asking the question, ‘How do people stay connected?’ We’ve been discovering how communication has changed over time, how computers communicate and how we, as humans, exchange ideas. So far, we have been practicing Morse-code, used semaphores flags to send messages to each other and even learned to count to 10 using binary!
